  "details": "### Impact\nThe Trix editor, in versions prior to 2.1.17, is vulnerable to XSS attacks when a `data-trix-serialized-attributes` attribute bypasses the DOMPurify sanitizer.\n\nAn attacker could craft HTML containing a `data-trix-serialized-attributes` attribute with a malicious payload that, when the content is rendered, could execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the user\u0027s session, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being performed or sensitive information being disclosed.\n\n### Patches\nUpdate Recommendation: Users should upgrade to Trix editor version 2.1.17 or later.\n\n### References\nThe XSS vulnerability was responsibly reported by Hackerone researcher [newbiefromcoma](https://hackerone.com/newbiefromcoma).",
